Review the system and equipment requirements to confirm that all phone system and Cisco Unity server requirements have been met. See the "Requirements" section.
2. Plan how the voice messaging ports will be used by Cisco Unity. See the "Planning How the Voice Messaging Ports Will Be Used by Cisco Unity" section.
3. Program the Avaya Definity/PBXLink phone system and extensions. See the "Programming the Avaya Definity/PBXLink Phone System" section.
4. Install and configure the PBXLink box. See the "Setting Up the PBXLink Box" section.
5. Create the integration. See the "Creating a New Integration with the Avaya Definity/PBXLink Phone System" section.
6. Test the integration. See the "Testing the Integration" section.
7. If you have a secondary server for Cisco Unity failover, integrate the secondary server. See the "Integrating a Secondary Server for Cisco Unity Failover" section.
Requirements
The Avaya Definity/PBXLink integration supports configurations of the following components:
Phone System
•An Avaya Definity phone system with one or two digital lines connected to the PBX ports on the PBXLink box. The line or lines must be compatible with the 7434D or 8434D digital phones. If vectoring will be used and depending on the phone system, the line or lines may require compatibility with only the 7434D digital phone.
•Bridged mode feature, enabled.
•For each voice messaging port, one analog port connected to the voice cards in the Cisco Unity server.
•The SMDI port in the PBXLink box connected to a serial port (COM1 is the default) on the Cisco Unity server with an RS-232 serial cable. If multiple PBXLink boxes are installed, the SMDI port of the last PBXLink box is connected to the Management port of the first PBXLink box with an RS-232 serial cable. The SMDI port of the first PBXLink box is connected to a serial port (COM1 is the default) on the Cisco Unity server with another RS-232 serial cable. Make sure that the serial protocol parameters for the Management port of the first PBXLink box are set to the same values as the SMDI port.
We recommend that the serial cable have the following construction:
–A maximum of 50 feet (15.24 m) in length
–24 AWG stranded conductors
–Low capacitance—for example, no more than 12 pF/ft (39.4 pF/m) between conductors
–At least 65 percent braided shield over aluminized polymer sleeve around conductors
–UL-recognized overall cable jacket insulation with low dielectric constant
–Braided shield fully terminated to and enclosed by a metal connector backshell
–Gold-plated connector contacts
•The phone system ready for the integration as described in the installation guide for the phone system.
Cisco Unity Server
•The applicable voice cards, installed. For details, refer to the "Supported Circuit-Switched Phone System Integrations" section in the applicable Supported Hardware and Software, and Support Policies at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.
•Cisco Unity installed and ready for the integration, as described in the applicable Cisco Unity installation guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.
•A license that enables the applicable number of voice messaging ports.
•An available serial port (COM1 is the default).
Integration Description
The Avaya Definity/PBXLink integration uses one or more PBXLink boxes, with each box emulating up to two Avaya 7434D or 8434D digital phones. The PBXLink is connected to the phone system with digital phone lines and connected to the Cisco Unity server with an RS-232 serial cable. The voice messaging lines from the phone system connect to the analog voice cards in the Cisco Unity server.
This integration requires that bridged mode be used.
The PBXLink box receives the following call information from the phone system:
•The extension of the called party
•The extension of the calling party (for internal calls) or the phone number of the calling party (if it is an external call and the system uses caller ID)
•The reason for the forward (the extension is busy, does not answer, or is set to forward all calls)
The PBXLink box formats this information as a Simplified Message Desk Interface (SMDI) packet and sends the packet to Cisco Unity through the RS-232 serial cable.
Cisco Unity uses this information to answer the call appropriately. For example, a call forwarded to Cisco Unity is answered with the personal greeting of the subscriber. If the phone system routes the call to Cisco Unity without this information, Cisco Unity answers with the opening greeting.
Cisco Unity also activates or deactivates messaging waiting indicators (MWIs) through the analog voice messaging ports rather than through the serial data link as in other serial integrations. As a result, it is necessary to set some voice messaging ports for handling MWIs as described in the "Planning How the Voice Messaging Ports Will Be Used by Cisco Unity" section, and to enter the MWI on and off codes as described in the "Creating a New Integration with the Avaya Definity/PBXLink Phone System" section.
For additional information on the PBXLink box, refer to the PBXLink documentation, which is available from the manufacturer.
Configuration for 24 or Fewer Ports
Avaya Definity/PBXLink integrations with 24 or fewer ports can use the following configuration (others are possible):
•(Recommended) A single PBXLink-24 box with Port A set for calls only.
Configuration for 25 to 48 Ports
Avaya Definity/PBXLink integrations with 25 to 48 ports can use one of the following configurations (others are possible):
•(Recommended) A single PBXLink-48 box with Ports A and B set for calls only.
•Two PBXLink-24 boxes with Port A of both set for calls only.
Configuration for 49 to 72 Ports
Avaya Definity/PBXLink integrations with 49 to 72 ports can use one of the following configurations (others are possible):
•(Recommended) One PBXLink-24 box with Port A set for calls only, and one PBXLink-48 box with Ports A and B set for calls only.
•Two PBXLink-48 boxes with Ports A and Port B of both set for calls only.
•Three PBXLink-24 boxes with Port A of all three set for calls only.
PBXLink Box Connections
A single PBXLink box is connected to the phone system with one or two digital phone lines and connected to the Cisco Unity server with an RS-232 serial cable. The voice messaging lines from the phone system connect to the analog voice cards in the Cisco Unity server. Figure 1 shows the required connections.
Figure 1 Serial Connections Between a Single PBXLink Box and Cisco Unity
Multiple PBXLink boxes are connected to the Cisco Unity server by using an RS-232 cable to connect the SMDI port from the last PBXLink box to the Management port of the first PBXLink box. Another RS-232 cable is then used to connect the SMDI port of the first PBXLink box to the Cisco Unity server. The voice messaging lines from the phone system connect to the analog voice cards in the Cisco Unity server. Figure 2 shows the required connections.
Figure 2 Serial Connections Between Multiple PBXLink Boxes and Cisco Unity
Integration Functionality
The Avaya Definity/PBXLink integration with Cisco Unity provides the following integration features:
•Call forward to personal greeting
•Call forward to busy greeting
•Caller ID
•Easy message access (a subscriber can retrieve messages without entering an ID because Cisco Unity identifies the subscriber based on the extension from which the call originated; a password may be required)
•Identified subscriber messaging (Cisco Unity identifies the subscriber who leaves a message during a forwarded internal call, based on the extension from which the call originated)
•Message waiting indication (MWI)
Integrations with Multiple Phone Systems
Cisco Unity can be integrated with multiple phone systems at one time. For information on the maximum supported combinations and instructions for integrating Cisco Unity with multiple phone systems, refer to the applicable Multiple Phone System Integration Guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_installation_and_configuration_guides_list.html.
Planning How the Voice Messaging Ports Will Be Used by Cisco Unity
Before programming the phone system, you need to plan how the voice messaging ports will be used by Cisco Unity. The following considerations will affect the programming for the phone system (for example, setting up the hunt group or call forwarding for the voice messaging ports):
•The number of voice messaging ports installed.
•The number of voice messaging ports that will answer calls.
•The number of voice messaging ports that will only dial out, for example, to send message notification, to set message waiting indicators (MWIs), to make AMIS deliveries, and to make telephone record and playback (TRAP) connections.
The following table describes the voice messaging port settings in Cisco Unity that can be set in UTIM, and that are displayed as read-only text on the System > Ports page of the Cisco Unity Administrator.
Table 1 Settings for the Voice Messaging Ports
Field
|
Considerations
|
Extension
|
Enter the extension for the port as assigned on the phone system.
|
Enabled
|
Check this check box to enable the port. The port is enabled during normal operation.
Uncheck this check box to disable the port. When the port is disabled, calls to the port get a ringing tone but are not answered. Typically, the port is disabled only by the installer during testing.
|
Answer Calls
|
Check this check box to designate the port for answering calls. These calls can be incoming calls from unidentified callers or from subscribers.
|
Message Notification
|
Check this check box to designate the port for notifying subscribers of messages. Assign Message Notification to the least busy ports.
|
Dialout MWI
(not used by serial or SMDI integrations)
|
Check this check box to designate the port for turning MWIs on and off. Assign Dialout MWI to the least busy ports.
|
AMIS Delivery
(available with the AMIS licensed feature only)
|
Check this check box to designate the port for making outbound AMIS calls to deliver voice messages from Cisco Unity subscribers to users on another voice messaging system. Cisco Unity supports the Audio Messaging Interchange Specification (AMIS) protocol, which provides an analog mechanism for transferring voice messages between different voice messaging systems.
This setting affects outbound AMIS calls only. All ports are used for incoming AMIS calls.
Because the transmission of outgoing AMIS messages may tie up voice ports for long periods of time, you may want to adjust the schedule on the Network > AMIS > Schedule page so that outgoing AMIS calls are placed during closed hours or at times when Cisco Unity is not processing many calls.
|
TRAP Connection
|
Check this check box so that subscribers can use the phone as a recording and playback device in Cisco Unity web applications and e-mail clients. Assign TRAP Connection to the least busy ports.
|
The Number of Voice Messaging Ports to Install
The number of voice messaging ports to install depends on numerous factors, including:
•The number of calls Cisco Unity will answer when call traffic is at its peak.
•The expected length of each message that callers will record and that subscribers will listen to.
•The number of subscribers.
•The number of ports that will be set to dial out only.
•The number of calls made for message notification.
•The number of MWIs that will be activated when call traffic is at its peak.
•The number of AMIS delivery calls.
•The number of TRAP connections needed when call traffic is at its peak. (TRAP connections are used by Cisco Unity web applications to play back and record over the phone.)
•The number of calls that will use the automated attendant and call handlers when call traffic is at its peak.
It is best to install only the number of voice messaging ports that are needed so that system resources are not allocated to unused ports.
The Number of Voice Messaging Ports That Will Answer Calls
The calls that the voice messaging ports answer can be incoming calls from unidentified callers or from subscribers. Typically, the voice messaging ports that answer calls are the busiest.
You can set voice messaging ports to both answer calls and to dial out (for example, to send message notifications). However, when the voice messaging ports perform more than one function and are very active (for example, answering many calls), the other functions may be delayed until the voice messaging port is free (for example, message notifications cannot be sent until there are fewer calls to answer). For best performance, dedicate certain voice messaging ports for only answering incoming calls, and dedicate other ports for only dialing out. Separating these port functions eliminates the possibility of a collision, in which an incoming call arrives on a port at the same time that Cisco Unity takes the port off-hook to dial out.
The Number of Voice Messaging Ports That Will Only Dial Out, and Not Answer Calls
Ports that will only dial out and will not answer calls can do one or more of the following:
•Notify subscribers by phone, pager, or e-mail of messages that have arrived.
•Turn MWIs on and off for subscriber extensions.
•Make outbound AMIS calls to deliver voice messages from Cisco Unity subscribers to users on another voice messaging system. (This action is available only with the AMIS licensed feature.)
•Make a TRAP connection so that subscribers can use the phone as a recording and playback device in Cisco Unity web applications.
Typically, these voice messaging ports are the least busy ports.
Caution In programming the phone system, do not send calls to voice messaging ports in Cisco Unity that cannot answer calls (voice messaging ports that are not set to Answer Calls). For example, if a voice messaging port is set only to Dialout MWI, do not send calls to it.
Preparing for Programming the Phone System
Record your decisions about the voice messaging ports to guide you in programming the phone system.
Programming the Avaya Definity/PBXLink Phone System
If you use programming options other than those supplied in the following procedure, the performance of the integration may be affected.
Caution In programming the phone system, do not send calls to voice messaging ports in Cisco Unity that cannot answer calls (voice messaging ports that are not set to Answer Calls). For example, if a voice messaging port is set only to Message Notification, do not send calls to it.
Make sure that the phone system sends calls only to Cisco Unity voice ports that are set to Answer Calls on the System > Ports page in the Cisco Unity Administrator. Calls sent to a voice port not set to Answer Calls cannot be answered by Cisco Unity and may cause other problems.
Do the following procedures as applicable.
To Program the Phone System
Step 1 Use the Add Station <extension number> command (for example, Add Station 2001) to assign an extension number for each voice messaging port. Set the following options and press Enter.
The options available may vary depending on the software version of your phone system.

If the phone system has 1 to 8 voice messaging ports or if it does not have vectoring capability, do the procedure "To Set Up Coverage Paths for One to Eight Voice Messaging Ports or for Phone Systems Without Vectoring Capability." Otherwise, do the procedure "To Set up Coverage Paths for More Than Eight Voice Messaging Ports."
To Set Up Coverage Paths for One to Eight Voice Messaging Ports or for Phone Systems Without Vectoring Capability
Step 1 Refer to Chapter 6 in the PBXLink documentation, which is available from the manufacturer.
To Set up Coverage Paths for More Than Eight Voice Messaging Ports
Step 1 For a phone system with more than eight voice messaging ports, use the Add Vdn <extension number> command (for example Add Vdn 2000) to set up a vector directory number for the pilot number (extension 2000 in this example). Set the following options and press Enter.

Integrating a Secondary Server for Cisco Unity Failover
The Cisco Unity failover feature enables a secondary server to provide voice messaging services when the primary server becomes inactive. For information on installing a secondary server for failover, refer to the applicable Cisco Unity installation guide, available at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.
For information on failover, refer to the applicable Cisco Unity Failover Configuration and Administration Guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_feature_guides_list.html.
Requirements
The following components are required to integrate a secondary server:
Phone System
•A data splitter unit to split the single serial cable from the first PBXLink box (which connects to the Cisco Unity servers) into two serial cables.
•Two additional RS-232 serial cables (to be used with the serial cable that was connected from the PBXLink box directly to the primary server when it was integrated with the phone system). With these three serial cables, connect one serial cable from the SMDI port in the first PBXLink box to the data splitter unit; connect the second serial cable from the data splitter unit to the serial port on the primary server; and connect the third serial cable from the data splitter unit to the serial port on the secondary server.
Cisco Unity Server
•One secondary server for each primary server installed and ready for the integration, as described in the applicable Cisco Unity installation guide and earlier in this integration guide.
•The applicable cable configuration for each analog voice messaging port to simultaneously connect the phone system to the corresponding ports on both the primary and the secondary servers. For example, connect port 1 on the phone system with both port 1 on the primary server and port 1 on the secondary server.
•A license that enables failover.
Integration Description
The phone system uses PBXLink boxes to send call information to the primary and secondary servers. The analog voice messaging lines from the phone system provide voice connectivity to the primary and secondary servers. Figure 3 shows the required connections.
Figure 3 Connections Between the Phone System and Cisco Unity Servers
The primary and secondary servers act in the following manner:
•When the primary server is operating normally, the secondary server is inactive.
•When the primary server becomes inactive, the secondary server becomes active.
•When the primary server becomes active again, the secondary server becomes inactive.
Setting Up the Secondary Server for Failover
Do the following procedure to integrate the secondary server.
To Set Up the Secondary Server for Failover
Step 1 Install a secondary server with the same configuration as the primary server. For installation instructions, refer to the applicable Cisco Unity installation guide.
Step 2 Make all voice connections from the phone system to the corresponding ports on both the primary server and the secondary server. For example, connect port 1 from the phone system with port 1 on both the primary and the secondary servers.
Step 3 Connect one serial cable from the SMDI port in the first PBXLink box to the data splitter unit.
